    Where is your blog currently? Will you be retaining the domain name? Bear in mind that wordpress.org just distributes, documents and supports the WordPress software. It does not provide hosting or domain names. You have to buy these yourself.

    You cannot retain name.wordpress.com if you move away from wordpress.com. But you can have name.wordpress.com redirected to your new domain for a fee.

    So, if i pay to get a new domain forexample wwww.myname.org and then i want to export my content from the previous one (www.myname.wordpress.com) Will i be charged for the exportation? I thought all this is done by wordpress. I need to get a domain that will give me more control with loosing what i previously had in the wordpress.com blog

    No - you carry out the export of the site's content yourself.
